Over
the course of your life, you will come in contact with people that will change
your life forever. I can definitely say
that Chi Alpha Campus Ministries has made a major impact in my life. I found a community. I found a home. I found a family.
I
have been a part of the student leadership team for the past year. Every day I have the opportunity to work with
such an amazing group of students who have a passion for Christ and his
work. I am constantly encouraged and inspired
by each and every one of them. I don’t
know if I tell them this enough, but I am so blessed by each of their friendships
and I love them more than words could say.
They
are all so dedicated to building God’s kingdom, rather than their own.
They
all want to make a big deal out God, rather than themselves.
Every
individual on the leadership team is so unique and different.
We’ve
all come from different paths.
We’ve
all faced different challenges and hardships.
We’ve
all experienced different highs and lows.
Our
different strengths, weaknesses, personalities, and quirks make us who we are…..and
that’s the beauty of the body of Christ.
Together we are a force on this campus!
It
beautifully says in Romans 12:4 [Message Bible], “In this way we are like the
various parts of a human body. Each part
gets its meaning from the body as a whole, not the other way around. The body we’re talking about is Christ’s body
of chosen people. Each of us finds our
meaning and function as a part of his body.”
Being
a part of the leadership team has made me realize that I need my fellow
brothers and sisters in Christ. All of
us contribute something valuable to the group and with someone missing, the
group would not be the same. WE NEED
EACH OTHER! We are able to be discipled and
disciple others. What a beautiful thing!
Over
the course of the past year, we’ve had the opportunity to see lives changed and
become new in Christ. We have seen the sick
become healed, the broken become whole, and the fearful become overcomers! God is doing great things on this campus, and
He is not done yet!
It’s
so important for student leaders to be open vessels for the Lord. Blessings will come out of our obedience to His
will, in our own individual lives, and on our campus. We have to continue growing together and let
the Holy Spirit move among us!
Remember….We
are royalty. We have destiny. WE are going to change history.
